Southwest Fine Art Portrait

• Signature is sign with 100% pure graphite pencils to ensure the longest longevity.
• Pure graphite rather than graphite mixed with clay, dye or pigment has a bond on paper that is stronger than the paper itself. The bond in pure graphite is much stronger, due to the electrostatic and mild chemical force properties.

Ink & Printers Used

• Genuine Canon PFI-1000 Lucia Pro 11 Color + Color Optimizer Pigment Inks
• Printer | Canon Pixma Pro-1000
• First Fine ART Prints were done with the Canon Pixma Pro 100. It’s Remains as backup Printers as of right now. Canon CLI-42 (The Pro-100) is rated about 100 years more than the PFI-1000 (Pro-1000). Pigments often produce far better color accuracy, but in this case it’s indistinguishable between CLI-42 and PFI-1000. Also, over time pigment tends to bleed more than ink. Only a trained eye can tell the difference. The Pixma Pro-100 is a last resort solution at times of reality errors. I will leave a message if that’s the case and a ZHorsch Apology Print of the same image.
• Further upgrades will be announced.

• True Museum grade glass is very expensive this a critical issue that needs to be resolved ASAP.
• Currently there are many limited resources. However, ZHorst Art creation will proceed.

• Over 39,000 hours have been put to the arts in the past 13 years. I don’t mind doing a hundred thousand more if it means I get to produce art for the time of being.
